The faithful spontaneously wishing to attend Father's private daily Mass in San Francisco (in Most Holy Redeemer) need to contact him directly at 415-863-6260 ext 15. He cannot publicize a private daily Mass until he has a stable group of 30, per the diocesan guidelines.

We have the Traditional Tridentine Mass EVERY day at St. Mary's Assumption in St. Louis, MO. On the Feast of the Assumption it will be confected at 8:00 and 10:00 in the morning. This has been going on since the SSPX founded our Church & Academy over 30 years ago. In other words TRADITION, yesterday, today and for tomorrow! Deo Gratias!

Also, you may want to post the following announcement: beginning September 6th, there will be a traditional high Mass at 9:15am, every Sunday, at Five Wounds Portuguese National Shrine in San Jose, CA. This is quite an astonishing feat indeed.

The Brothers of the Little Oratory in San Diego will sing the 1st Vespers of the Assumption of the BVM at 7:00pm on Friday, 14 August 2009 in St. Augustine's Monastery Chapel, 3266 Nutmeg St., San Diego CA 92104.

Mr. Palad, is this Mass on Aug. 15 a new TLM place in Metro Manila? In the same diocese of Cubao, I gather that Fr. Jojo, of the Parish of Divine Mercy, is having a difficult time with the local ordinary, Bishop Ongtioco, so I just wondered if there was another TLM parish popping up in the same diocese?

No, this is a one-time thing in Greenmeadows. The priest who will offer this Mass, Fr. Cesar Salomon, is the regular celebrant of the Sunday TLM in St. Therese Shrine in Pasay. At present, no other parish in Cubao seems to be interested in the TLM.

Fr. Jojo is having some problems but the TLM in his parish is not under any serious threat as of the moment.

Incidentally, Fr. Timoteo Ofrasio SJ, professor of liturgy in Loyola House in Ateneo and former member of ICEL, now offers the TLM early in the morning from Monday to Friday at the Jesuit residence in Loyola, which is within the Diocese of Cubao.

On the Feast of the Assumption in St. Augustine, FL at the Mission of Nombre de Dios which is the site of the oldest Marian shrine in the U.S.A, Nuestra Senora de la Leche. Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite will be at 11AM at the Prince of Peace Votive Church on the mission grounds.

For the Solemn Feast of the Assumption on Saturday, August 15, there will be a Sung Mass at 11AM at Immaculate Conception Church, 59 Walnut Street, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The celebrant will be Fr. Pendergraft, FSSP. The Traditional Latin Mass is offered weekly at Immaculate Conception on Sundays at 8AM with confession and rosary before Mass with Fr. David Phillipson as celebrant.Deo Gratias.

This is all very good, both in the Philippines and in the U.S.A. However, what is needed are every-Sunday Traditional Latin Masses in sees which currently don't have them. These would be the great majority in the Philippines. In the U.S.A., they are the same old culprits: Las Vegas, Saginaw, Winona, New Ulm, Las Cruces, &c.

There will be a sung "Missa Rosa Mystica" at 7:00pm at San Secondo D'Asti Church on the Feast of the Assumption, 250 N. Turner Ave., Guasti, CA 91743 near the Ontario Airport in the Diocese of San Bernardino.

First Solemn Vespers for the Assumption will be held at All Saints Parish in Walton, KY, on Friday the 14th at 6:30PM, followed by Benediction and Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Solemn High Mass of the Assumption will be offered at 9:15AM on the 15th also at All Saints.

There will be a High Mass at the chapel of the Imperial Brotherhood of "Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro" in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, next Saturday, August 15th, on the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Said chapel has the rank of "National Basilica of the Assumption" by decree of the late Pope Pius XII of blessed and glorious memory; so the date is very meaningful also because of the connection of the church in question with the mystery of the Assumption.

Fr. Edilson (of the Personal Apostolic Administration St. John Mary Vianney in Campos) will be the celebrant.

In honor of the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Latin Mass Community of St. Joseph's Church, 49 Woodland Street, in Fitchburg, MA will have Vespers and Benediction on Sunday, August 15, at 2:30PM. Vespers are chanted every Sunday at 2:30PM (after refreshments in the hall after the 12:30PM Traditional Latin Mass), and printed copies are provided (Latin and English). Rosary and Confessions are held before Mass. www.latinmassfitchburg.blogspot.com
